This craft keg stuff is never going to catch on .Is it.
As a drinker of (so called) London murky I know of only one London brewer who does not add finings to their beer.The problem is the pubs are not letting the beer settle or sometimes hop haze.In...
When hoppy beer is sold at too low a temperature you get whats called hop haze.Dont think it was duff just badly served.
What pub is correct it is open but only keg OBB.
I did say personally so its my opinion but I did say I if I am wrong I apologise. I would be happy to review those pubs but it would mean drinking Sam Smiths beers.Sam Smiths bottled beers are superb...
I bow to your superior knowledge and am surprised so many still serve cask.You can delete the Town Wharf as its been closed for a few years and was not selling cask before it closed.
That list is badly out of date as I personally think there are only a few cask outlets in London now.
I met one of the Sams managers a couple of years ago and he told me only pubs that can shift 2 x18 gallon barrels a day are allowed to serve cask.About 300 pints a day.
You are probably right on that as I am not sure how the part-gyling actually works.cheers john
Fullers still use this system .Its called part-gyle.They only brew one beer which is drawn off at different times and different abv,s then they mix them to produce Golden Pride-Esb-Pride and...
I will second that motion.
If having American hops makes it craft beer Al ,s Harvest pale at £3.00 a pint and brewed exclusively with American hops is a Craft beer. Welcome to the craft beer drinkers club Al. Although there...
Unfortunately its the pub that sets the prices not the brewer.If they used the same mark-up as they have on Harvest bitter it would be £4.50 a pint.Had it in London def didn't pay more than £3.00 a...
As Aqualung points out its the pubs not the brewers who are to blame. A lot of the pubs want 300% so if they buy beer for £1 a pint they charge £4 thus £3 profit but when they buy craft beer at £2 a...
Actually this year they did do 1/3 pints which pro-rata made it even more expensive but its a cheaper way of trying the beers
There are some at that strength but they start at £7 a pint.
easy ipa 4.2 £7.30
doggie style 5.5 £7.50
hop ottin ipa 7.00 £9.25
you get the idea.
I will bring the beer list to Reading so we can...
still its cheaper than the White Horse American fest today
cask Sierra Nevada -hoptimum imperial ipa 10.4- £10 a pint or
the dearest mild I have seen
keg Anchor brewing -marks mild 4.0 -£9 a pint
At that size of measure it will probably be plastic glasses as well .Not the best thing way to taste AWESOME beer.
Its probably not a word but its a great new addition to the English language. nice one.
The Euston tap is actually the cheapest of the London craft beer pubs.You missed a bargain last night as they had Lagunitas ipa 6.8 at only £5 a pint.The White horse American beer fest has it on next...
I had a Brodies -London Sour 2.5.on keg at the Cock tav.I am not sure it can be described as a beer.?
I had 3 keg beers last night
alpha state -cironvand perfect carbonation and temp(hard to tell the diff from real ale)
beavertown -apricot ale too fizzy and too cold
beavertown -rypa -perfect carb...
You wont be able to tell if its keg or key keg as it will taste the same but maybe a bit gassier on normal keg. The advantage of key keg is its only 30 litres so less to sell and the keg is...
Aqualung is right you can get cheap beer in Mc Spoons but you have got to like their style of pub and I don't.I am going up London on wed night Cock tav-fox e8-dukes brew and que -well and bucket e2-...
Well Gill it did have to travel 3 miles from the brewery to the Earl of Essex probably by Taxi. cheers
